A few days ago, David Heinemeier Hansson announced that Turbo 8 is dropping TypeScript . I'm okay with that because I don't even know what Turbo 8 is. However, over the past few years, some frontend programmers have tried to sell me the idea that "TypeScript is useless, just use tests". I think people with such opinions either don't care about code quality or simply don't know what TypeScript is. Here, I will explain why you should use TypeScript.

    And there are advantages to vanilla JS - it removes the compilation step from one language to another

    IDK about the potency of the pc they used to compile but… it takes less than 10 seconds usually, booting up the testing server with the updated code though CI/CD takes much longer. it’s not abouthte compilation step, that’s a non-issue, it’s about the extra effort they don’t want to put to do the typing.
